writing
I am now going to post links to my writings because some friends (one or three) have asked for the info. Reasons?
1) I like people to read my stuff.
2) I've spent a substantial portion of the last two years creating it.
3) I've just finished two out of three parts of a trilogy, and want to brag a little that I stuck to it so long.
3) This says who I am and what I'm about as well as anything.
It's HP-based so won't be interesting to everyone, which is fine. The trilogy, "Before the Beginning", is about how Professor McGonagall became who she is. (I like to think Dance Shiva's detailed and entertaining back stories for her LARP characters inspired this somewhat.)
My stock in trade is taking the more obscure characters in JKR's saga and the Chocolate Frog Cards and fleshing them out. Ditto her beasties and the theory behind the magic. I particularly like to explore what Tom Riddle was like, before he became Lord Voldemort. (Evil, uncharismatic bullies whom an author has given no cogent reason to have success in their power-grabs always stick in my craw.)
